Chicken Piccata with Orange and Wheat Beer Glaze

As a housewife, I'm always looking for delicious and easy-to-make recipes that my family will love. This Chicken Piccata with Orange and Wheat Beer Glaze certainly fits the bill! The combination of tangy orange and slightly bitter wheat beer creates a flavorful and unique glaze that perfectly complements the tender chicken.

This dish is not only delicious, but also surprisingly simple to prepare. The chicken is coated in a simple flour and pepper mixture, then pan-fried until golden brown. The orange and wheat beer glaze is made by simply reducing orange juice and wheat beer in a skillet until it thickens. The capers add a briny touch that perfectly balances the sweetness of the orange and the bitterness of the beer.

Step-by-step

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and ground black pepper.
2. Dredge the chicken breasts in the mixture to coat and set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the oil, and once the oil and butter start to simmer, carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet.
5. Cook approx. 7 minutes minutes per side, or until the juices run clear.
6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate. Set aside.
7. Increase the skillet heat to high and add the orange juice and wheat beer.
8. Cook until reduced by to about half.
9. Add the orange zest and capers.
10. Place the chicken into the skillet once again and coat with the orange and wheat beer sauce to serve.
11. Garnish with parsley.
